bitbucket - Upgrading Git-LFS whilst keeping Git the same version?

Question

For various reasons I need to keep the Bitbucket and associated Git version i'm running the same version as it is now - however I want to patch for the Git-LFS vulnerability. I couldn't find any information on if I can upgrade my version of Git-LFS to the latest patched version i.e v2.13.2 whilst keeping my Git version at 2.16.2.windows.1 (current Git-LFS is 2.3.4.0). The environment is Windows.

Thanks for any help.

Then cloned my work repo with 2 big submodules (all 3 with LFS enabled) and it worked without errors:
